Abstract
We have measured the vibration perception
threshold (VPT) in a large number of normal
subjects with the aim of producing accurate age
related percentile charts to allow simple, quantitative
assessment of neuropathy at the bedside. During this
study we noticed that the VPT for right thumbs was often greater than for the left suggesting that in the
general population right hands may be less sensitive
to vibration than left hands.
